[aur-general] makepkg developmental version
by Allan McRae 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

Hi all, I have just packaged a version of makepkg from my git working branch for people to test out. This installs alongside the makepkg from pacman so won't affect your regular package building. i686: http://dev.archlinux.org/~allan/makepkg-git-20081223-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz x86_64: http://dev.archlinux.org/~allan/makepkg-git-20081223-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz New features of interest: Package splitting support! - multiple packages are specified in the pkgname variable - each package gets its own packaging function where package variables can be overridden - see PKGBUILD-split.proto (in /usr/share/pacman) for "documentation" Added optional package() function in PKGBUILDs - limits fakeroot usage to packaging stages - see "man PKGBUILD-git.conf" for more info Treat info pages like man pages: - automatically compress info pages - info pages are not removed with the !docs options Added purge option: - automatically removes common conflicting or removed files - specify files in PURGE_TARGETS in makepkg.conf - default PURGE_TARGETS=(usr/{,share}/info/dir .packlist *.pod) Replace getopt usage with internal function: - allows makepkg to run on systems with old getopt version (e.g. Mac OS X) Other smaller changes: - ability to pass PKGBUILD from pipe - package compression type auto-detection - add configuration option to specify man/info page directories - specify alternative configuration file using the --config option - all integrity sums provided are checked - some fixes from the pacman 3.2 maintenance branch: - detect CRLF line endings - when automatically updating an SCM package pkgver, pkgrel is reset to 1 - speed up mercurial package revision checking - improved compatibility with older bash versions Known issues: - The -p flag to specify an alternative name for a PKGBUILD is broken - Repackaging with split-packages definitely does not work - Repackaging when using package() function probably does not work... - Some minor output changes are needed for package splitting Bug reports either to the pacman-dev list or the pacman/makepkg section of the bug tracker. Enjoy, Allan

[aur-general] Codeblocks vanished from AUR
by stefan-husmann＠t-online.de 22 Dec '08

22 Dec '08

Hello, the package codeblocks I maintain in Community vanished. I am quite sure this happened not long ago, maybe yesterday ore the day before. The x86_64 package still shows up on Pierre's package list on archlinux.de, but the i686 package does not. Also the AUR comment page is gone. Now someone uploaded codeblocks again to AUR. What should I do? Regards Stefan

Please remove the following packages from AUR: freeciv-gtk eclipse-pdt-integration eclipse33-xerces Reasons: Now that the freeciv in extra is being updated, freeciv-gtk is a duplicate. eclipse-pdt-integration is a duplcate of eclipse-pdt since it has been updated. eclipse33-xerces is included in eclipse33-wsdl4j and no longer needed. Thanks, Jonathan Wiersma

Hi, please remove the package "capifax" because it's not needed any more. "ffgtk" needs "libcapifax" and that needs "libcapi20". Regards, Bernhard
